Gondola Lookout in Northstar

Take your next Lake Tahoe vacation to this beautifully remodeled Northstar condo. This two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home is located just above Northstar Village, where you can walk or ski down to the gondola, or hop on the free shuttle for easy access to the lifts.

This condo is in a very convenient location for all the fun Northstar has to offer. Guests have access to the Northstar Recreation Center for a small daily fee, which includes multiple outdoor hot tubs, a large fitness center, a game room, and seasonal swimming pools. Northstar Resort itself offers endless activities—skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, tubing, shopping, and dining in winter; and golf, tennis, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and roller skating in summer. Just a short drive away, you can also enjoy Lake Tahoe beaches, boating, paddleboarding, parasailing, hiking, and even nightlife at the North Shore casinos.

This is a two-level condo with high-end finishes throughout. On the main floor, you will find the entry, master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a half bath, and an open kitchen and living area. The kitchen is beautifully updated with granite countertops, designer cabinetry, and stainless appliances, while the living room features a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace and large windows overlooking the passing gondola and pine forest. Head upstairs to the second bedroom, a bunk room with a full-over-queen bed, ensuite bathroom, and smart TV.

Features:
* Gas fireplace with custom stone surround
* High-end upgrades with granite counters, stainless appliances, and designer cabinetry
* Walking distance to Northstar Village and gondola access
* Access to Northstar Recreation Center (fee applies)

Bedroom Configurations:
* Bedroom 1 (Main Floor): Queen (ensuite bath)
* Bedroom 2 (Upstairs): Full over Queen Bunk (ensuite bath)

Location:
Whether you want to relax by the fire, take a soak in the hot tubs at the Recreation Center, or explore the activities at Northstar Village, this home puts you right in the center of it all. In winter, you'll enjoy ski-in convenience and quick access to lifts. Condo located just above the Northstar Village, walk 2 blocks or take the free shuttle - walk 1.5 blocks across the parking lot & ski down to the gondola. In summer, you'll be close to championship golf, hiking, and biking trails. Drive just 10 minutes to Lake Tahoe's north shore for boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, and fishing—or head to the casinos for dining, music, and entertainment.

Great place awesome location

Such a nice house, we always love staying in the condos on the hill.. Short walk to the village run, so easy even with a 6 and 9 year old. clean place with good beds.. the bunks are huge. the master bed is a little small but its a small room. living room was comfortable and the kitchen was stocked well. couldn't get the fire place to work and the TV only had 12 channels. I'm sure there was a way to get our streaming services but we couldn't figure it out. Other then that it was a GREAT spot!
